an IPv6 address assigned to it, and if an incoming packet received on
one interface has a packet destination address that belongs to another
interface, the routing table is consulted to determine how to reach this
packet destination. Since the packet destination is an interface address,
the route table will return a host route with the loopback interface as
rt_ifp. The input code must recognize this fact, instead of using the
loopback interface, the input code performs a search to find the right
interface that owns the given IPv6 address.
